Ava’s Fate
Celine’s POV :
Alpha Tyrion was coming my way as I mind-linked with him. In all this mess, he looked so tired and a little frustrated. The anger in my head calmed down as I saw him.
“Just arranged the guards on the borders. What do you want to discuss, love? ” He asked, his hands running down my back.
I melted into his soft touch, ” Nothing. I just wanted to see you. ”
I lied because if I had told him about the dungeon he would be leaving for the woods and inspect the place himself. But right now, he needed rest and sleep. After I had gone missing and got trapped in the hidden room, he had been worried about me without thinking of his own health.
“Is that all? Why do I feel like that you are hiding something from me again? ” He asked, running his hand in my hair.
I sighed, ” I am definitely not hiding anything from you ever again but right now I don’t want to discuss it. Both of us need some good rest and I have missed you so much. ”
I wrapped my hands around him in a tight embrace and he pulled me closer towards his chest so that now I could hear his heart beat.
“You are the only person I have ever loved after my parents. So, don’t you ever think I will not take your concerns seriously. ”
My wolf gave a submissive low growl. Our time of affection together was hindered by some worried screams of a few people. I immediately shot my attention at the direction of the crowd and saw Ava lying in Alpha Kristian’s arms. Her fists were clenched and her eyes had rolled in the deep of the sockets.
Alpha Tyrion held my arm as I was to leave and check up on her, ” I don’t believe her. She just wants attention. ”
I knew that he was right and this woman had always tried to bring me down but as the Luna of this pack now, I had to do the needful.
“I just want to know what the matter is. ” I assured him and he kept standing at his place, not even bothered by the maids running around Ava.
As I approached them, Alpha Kristian bowed his head which was a surprise to me. Just a few days ago, he would treat me as if I was a untouchable foreign species.
“What happened to her? Is everything alright? ” I asked, looking down at Ava who was still unconscious.
Alpha Kristian shook his head, ” Luna Queen, we just had a light snack and when I came back into the room, she was throwing up and breathing heavily. I was taking her to the pack doctor but then she fell here on the ground. ”
I sat down and touched her forehead. The temperature seemed normal and even her Heartbeat was perfectly fine which could only mean that she was pretending again. Just as I had thought, her eyes snapped open and she looked around frantically.
“Ty! Where are you? ” She cried out desperately.
Alpha Tyrion clenched his fists and made a safe distance between them both.
“Stay away. ” He said in a dangerously cold voice.
Ava let out a shrill cry, ” Really? After sleeping with me, promising me to mark, getting me pregnant to ignoring my whole existence! That’s who you are! You knew about her special powers. You marked her because you… you knew she was the Royal blood. ”
Her screams gathered a huge crowd and all the pack members murmured to themselves about her allegations. I wanted to intervene but then Alpha Tyrion took long angry steps towards her.
“That’s not my child first of all. ”
Silence fell over the pack and Alpha Kristian stood away from Ava. His mouth was set into a straight line and his eyes showed nothing except the blank stare focused on the back of Ava’s head.
“What are you even saying? This is our child! ”
Alpha Tyrion growled, ” This is kain’s child. You slept with him. Right? ”
Her eyes popped out because of the sudden revelation, ” What??? I don’t know anything about Kain. You are just accusing me out of the blue. I… am the mother of your child. ”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
It was time for me to intervene because this woman was so delusional that she thought her fake tears and desperate look might make anyone trust her. She needed a reality check after all the insults and troubles she put over me.
“Ava, we know about your past. This is not Alpha Tyrion’s pup. Stop making a joke out if you. The pack is watching and your stuff is packed up to leave now. ” I kept my voice low, ” Have some respect for Alpha Kristian and leave to your new pack. ”
This definitely struck a nerve and she went instantly cold. Her eyes now filled with tears and aggression glared at me.
“I am never leaving, Tyrion. I don’t even want this Kristian! ” She shouted.
“You cheated on me, Ava. You lied about the pregnancy. You are heartless. This is Kain’s pup. He may accept you but I can’t. ”
Alpha Tyrion walked off to the other side where Alpha Kristian was standing.
“This is not Kain’s child! For God’s sake! ” She cried.
“Then whose child is this, Ava? Or you don’t even know who is the father? ” I asked bitterly.
She clenched her jaw, ” I know the father is Gamma Thom! ”
Gasps! No one spoke a word. The sound of birds chirping and distant voice of soldiers doing their routinely drill was the only sort of distraction in the eerie calm moment.
Gamma Thom was her pack’s third in charge and was two years younger than her father. As a twenty- seven year old unmated wolf, she could just not just slept with a much older man.
“That’s disgusting! ” Alpha Kristian spoke for the first time during the heated up situation, ” How could you sleep with him? I know he doesn’t have a mate but that doesn’t make him available for you! ”
He was angry. Really angry. It was insulting as an Alpha to take a pregnant she wolf and then her past was so dark that it could never change how she was going to act up in future too.
“That’s so shameless. ”
“She really is a who*e! ”
“That’s why she doesn’t have a fated mate. ”
Ava heard all the low whispers against her and with her eyes turning red she stood up.
“Gamma Thom is my fated mate. I knew about it since I turned eighteen. But my father Alpha Jonathan made me to lie and get me mated to Tyrion. I love Tyrion. But the scent of my fated mate didn’t let me think properly and on my 27th birthday we mated… ”
Alpha Tyrion had enough and he began to walk off in the chambers. But Ava ran behind him.
“Ty, I promise I love you. I am sorry I messed it up. We are made for each other. ”
“Ava! Enough. I don’t want to hurt a woman. Don’t make me break my oath. ” He was dead serious and Ava knew about it too.
She just stood there until Alpha Tyrion was out of sight. Then, with no hope she turned to Alpha Kristian.
“Let’s go. ” She said.
“I am leaving for my pack. You can ask your father to take you back. ” He announced, ” I, Alpha Kristian, break off the arranged mate bond with Ava, a cheater. ”
Her eyes widened, ” You are not serious about it. You can’t afford this luxury without my father. ”
“I don’t want luxury. I want true love. You are just a pest. Good for nothing. ”
He left with his men as they carried his luggage. I took a deep breath and decided to leave her alone too. She didn’t need to pull this stunt even now, but she had to ruin everything for herself.
“You must be happy now, bit*h! That’s what you wanted! ” She screamed at the top of her lungs.
I kept ignoring her and walked to the pack members who were still in shock.
“I am just waiting for my father’s message. Once I leave to my pack, I will tell everyone how you are a man snatcher! ”
I ran my hand in the soft curls of a little pup, ” When will you start the training, little one? ”
“In two years. ” She answered.
A man on a horse stopped by Ava, he was the Beta of her father’s pack.
“Where is my car? ” She asked, rudely.
He hesitated, ” Alpha Jonathan has disowned you for not keeping up with the pack’s respect. You are not welcome in his pack anymore. ”
She fell to her knees, looking at the Beta with desperation, ” He can’t do this! I am his only daughter. ”
“That’s what he has decided, Ava. I hope you find a safe place somewhere soon. ”
The Beta was on his way back when Ava cried to him. To not leave her here without any support but he was gone.
“I… I don’t want to… ” She murmured something.
I turned my head away and patted the pup again. That’s when I heard a loud splash.
“She jumped into the well! ” An old woman screamed.
